WALL CONSTRUCTION.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 2, 1913.

Application' filed Il'ldarch 3, 1913.` Serial'No. 751,703.

To all 'whom it may concern.'

Be it kno-wn that I, LIsLr. J. DARE, citizen of the United States of America, residing at Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State of Washington, have invented certain prove the `construction of walls of stone,

brick, concrete or other material where it is desired to provide fora hollow space between the main walls and the plastering, and have such walls fire proof and damp proof. y

- The foregoing and other purposes are accomplished by the'additicn and use in such construction of a wall-tie of special design and construction and which I have invented and which, together with the connection and application of the same, will be hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanymg draw'ngs, in whiche Figur 1, is a perspective view of the walltle, Fig. 2, is a side view of the same, Fig. 3, is a. 51de view of the wall tie sho-wn in' posit1on in a fragmental portion of a cement .wall in course of construction, showing fragmentalsectional views of the cribbing mclosmg the cement, and Fig. 4, is aside 'View of the wall-tie shown in position in a fragmental cement wall and applied to a fragmentalv portion of metal lath with the plastering 1n position on the same.

In detail construction the wall-tie 10 is composed of a sheet metal main body 11 having at one end oppositely bent tongues 12, at the opposite end marginal teeth 13,

and near the longitudinal center thereofmarginal, lvertically arranged guides 14. A downwardly extending spur 15 reaches from a position near the guides 14.

The entire construction of the wall-tie 10 1s of one pieceof metal and may be stamped out and bent to position. The-tie l0 is placed in the wall 16 when in course of construction with the portion 11 in a horizontal position, the tongues 12 in a vertical position, the guides 14 1n a vertical position and engaging the inner wall of the cribbing 17 and the face 18 of the wall 16. lThe spur 15 is embedded in the top, horizontal wall 19 of the cribbing 17 which serves' to hold the tie 10 in its proper position until the cement or concrete 16 is firmly set, after which the cribbin'gis removed as usual and the tie 10 occupies the position in the wall 16 shown in Fig. 4. The ties 10 are thus Set at proper distances apart in the wall. 16, as the same is being constructed, and are of uniform length with the portionsv 20 extending outwardly a uniform distance from the face 18 of the wall 16, when the metal lath 21 are inserted over the end of the tie 10 carrying the teeth 13, the lath 21 bearing against the edge 22 with the teeth 13 protween the wall 16 and the plastering 23. .The ties l0 are inexpensive and light and leave the completed wall without any wooden studding or construction whatever.

What I claim ie, l

l. A sheet metal wall-tie, comprising a flat body portion, tongues at o-ne end thereof bent to approximately right angles with the body portion, guides near the center of the body portion bent to right angles therewith and teeth at the end of the body'portion opposite the tongues, the same being horizontal with the body portion.

2. A sheet metal wall-tie, comprising a fia-t body portion, tongues at one end thereof oppositely bent to approximately right angles with the body portion, guides near the" center of the body portion bent to right angles therewith, teeth at the end of the body portion vopposite .the tongues and a spur reaching from the body portion at a position between the guides and the teeth and extending in a position approximately parallel` with -the guides.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature inthe presence of two witnesses.
